Spinner Shark
Targeting Spinner Sharks in San Diego offers a unique opportunity to tangle with these high-energy predators in the Pacific. While not as abundant as in the Gulf of Mexico, they are present, especially during the warmer months of the year, typically from late summer to early fall. The key is to find areas with warmer water temperatures and abundant baitfish. Look for areas near kelp forests and offshore banks. Fishing from a boat is almost essential, allowing you to cover ground and locate active sharks. Chumming is a proven method for attracting them. Spinner sharks are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked, so be prepared for an exciting fight. Most anglers use heavy spinning or conventional gear. Remember to check California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for shark fishing, including any size or gear restrictions. Local knowledge is invaluable; consider booking a charter with an experienced captain.
